Should We Sue Trump Together for $200 MILLION?!!

By Ben Meiselas

Hey Meidas Mighty. I had an idea. With Trump and all of MAGA threatening to sue MeidasTouch, should we just sue him first?

Should we go on the offense and sue his ass to oblivion?

Would you join us if we sued him?

I think we hit him where it hurts: The White House.

It’s not his house. It’s our house. It’s the people’s house.

I was doing research last night and I think his plan to build a $200 million ballroom in the White House East Wing is patently unlawful. And because Trump is a malignant narcissist, blocking the ballroom would make him suffer dearly. I think we have a good case against him to block the $200 million ballroom.

Here’s the thing. The White House doesn’t belong to Trump. It belongs to the people of the United States. Under the law, major renovations of the White House require congressional approval. The President doesn’t have the power to initiate major renovations on his own.

It's our house and he weaseled his way into it.
He has no right to do the shit he's trying to pull.

Besides, lining the ballroom with gold is a fool's errand. They'll just steal it all when the leave the White House, just like last time.
